[Verse 1

Don’t chase the world, don’t run the race,

Happiness isn’t found in a distant place.

It’s the morning sun, it’s the soft rainfall,

A quiet smile when you have it all.

They’ll tell you to search, to reach and climb,

But joy’s in the now, not borrowed time.

It’s how you feel, it’s what you see,

It’s the love you give that sets you free.

[Chorus

Happiness depends on what we choose,

It’s not what we win, it’s not what we lose.

It’s a state of mind, it’s a way to be,

Happiness depends on you and me.

[Verse 2

Look in the mirror, you’ll find the key,

It’s not locked away; it’s in you and me.

The world can crumble, the skies can fall,

But the joy inside will outshine it all.

A walk through the trees, a laugh with a friend,

The simplest moments where joy transcends.

No need for the fame, no need for the throne,

Happiness grows where love is sown.

[Chorus

Happiness depends on what we choose,

It’s not what we win, it’s not what we lose.

It’s a state of mind, it’s a way to be,

Happiness depends on you and me.

[Bridge

Feel the rhythm of the life you lead,

It’s not in the want, it’s not in the need.

Every breath you take, every dream you weave,

Happiness is something you believe.
